Calling all Disney Adults! We love adulting at EPCOT. There is always something to see, something to learn, and something to fill our bellies. Visiting EPCOT is extra fun during a festival, and that’s why I need to remind you that a festival is coming to a close.
The 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts began on January 16th. While that was just one month ago, this festival simply doesn’t stick around for long. Consider this your warning that we have just one more week left to experience this festival before it is done for 2026!
As a reminder, Festival of the Arts is the creative, artistic festival at EPCOT that allows you to experience everything artistic: the culinary arts, visual arts, and performance arts. This festival is home to the Disney on Broadway Concert Series, live visual arts demonstrations, chalk art galore, and the paint-by-numbers murals. You can purchase Disney artwork directly from the artists themselves as well as become part of the art. Additionally, there is the culinary scavenger hunt known as the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine. What a great excuse to eat from all of the delicious food studios! There’s nothing else like it!
Now that we’re down to our final week of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, let’s look at the biggest activities you can expect towards the end of the fest.
Disney on Broadway Concert Series
There will be performances for the Disney on Broadway Concert Series every night through the end of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. This means plenty of opportunities for Disney Adults to experience live entertainment! Here’s the schedule of performances for this final week:
- Ashley Brown (Mary Poppins) and Ainsley Melham (Aladdin): February 16 and February 19

These concerts take place at the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion. Showtimes are at 5:30 PM, 6:45 PM, an 8:00 PM. As a reminder, there are Disney on Broadway Dining Packages available at participating restaurants. You can book those dining packages here. Same-day dining packages from Regal Eagle Smokehouse are also available.

Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine
Who could forget about the culinary scavenger hunt? After all, Disney Adults love to eat! Luckily, you still have a week left to successfully complete the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine! As MouseHouseNews.net previously reported, this food crawl allows you to eat your way around the food studios while earning one more stamp by eating specific items. Once you fill up the festival passport with five stamps, you’ll redeem the completed passport for a prize. Simply head over to Deco Delights near Port of Entry. Just remember that you have until February 23rd to redeem a completed passport.
Even though there’s only one week left, there’s still plenty to do at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. If you are visiting Walt Disney World this week, be sure to make time for the festival! Once this festival wraps, there will be just over one week where EPCOT will have no festival. As we previously reported, the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival kicks off on March 4th. Stay tuned to MouseHouseNews.net for more information regarding EPCOT festival information.
